Fun Facts

Trivia

The song was inspired after Mike listened to a song called "Los Americanos" which was a song teasing life about American people, similar to Larry teasing Bob in this song.

The background used in the song was inspired by Mike Nawrocki's mural.

In the original Latin Spanish dub of Rack, Shack and Benny, all singing parts (except for the ending) are left undubbed, being acknowledged by the announcer claiming Bob translates the song into English.

Inside/Real World References

Junior can be seen wearing Mickey Mouse ears on his head. You can find these ears at Disney World on Orlando, Florida or Disneyland in California.

Errors

Animation error showing 'Bob's soul escaping', as seen in the Arabic and original Latin Spanish dubs of the Silly Song.

In the original Latin Spanish and Arabic dubs of Rack, Shack and Benny, an alternate Silly Song title card was used and at the end, after the first time Larry runs with Bob chasing him to the left of the screen and just before they appear the second time onscreen, Bob is running to the right of the screen before Larry shows up. This error is considered to be Bob's clone.
